Contributing

git-multimail is an open-source project, built by volunteers. We would welcome your help!

The current maintainers are Matthieu Moy and Michael Haggerty.

Please note that although a copy of git-multimail is distributed in the "contrib" section of the main Git project, development takes place in a separate git-multimail repository on GitHub.

Whenever enough changes to git-multimail have accumulated, a new code-drop of git-multimail will be submitted for inclusion in the Git project.

We use the GitHub issue tracker to keep track of bugs and feature requests, and we use GitHub pull requests to exchange patches (though, if you prefer, you can send patches via the Git mailing list with CC to the maintainers). Please sign off your patches as per the Git project practice.

Please vote for issues you would like to be addressed in priority (click "add your reaction" and then the "+1" thumbs-up button on the GitHub issue).

General discussion of git-multimail can take place on the main Git mailing list.

Please CC emails regarding git-multimail to the maintainers so that we don't overlook them.

Help needed: testers/maintainer for specific environments/OS

The current maintainer uses and tests git-multimail on Linux with the Generic environment. More testers, or better contributors are needed to test git-multimail on other real-life setups:

  • Mac OS X, Windows: git-multimail is currently not supported on these platforms. But since we have no external dependencies and try to write code as portable as possible, it is possible that git-multimail already runs there and if not, it is likely that it could be ported easily.

    Patches to improve support for Windows and OS X are welcome. Ideally, there would be a sub-maintainer for each OS who would test at least once before each release (around twice a year).

  • Gerrit, Stash, Gitolite environments: although the testsuite contains tests for these environments, a tester/maintainer for each environment would be welcome to test and report failure (or success) on real-life environments periodically (here also, feedback before each release would be highly appreciated).
